From New Orleans, Louisiana<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The victim, a 40-year-old woman, was attempting to leave her driveway in the 700 block of North Miro Street around 7 a.m. Wednesday. She was blocked by a man, who followed her into her house as she ran away. The suspect punched the victim several times before the victim pulled out a handgun and shot the suspect three times.<\/p>\n

The victim was taken to the hospital, where he died of his wounds Wednesday evening, police said. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There can’t be two victims in that story, but, there you go.<\/p>\n

From Louisville, Kentucky<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Police say Lugene Floyd Jr., 19, was in his kitchen with his brother Saturday when another man entered the home naked and attempted to sexually assault their mother, according to court records. Records do not say where the man entered the home.<\/p>\n

Floyd’s brother retrieved a gun and fatally shot the intruder, who was identified by WDRB News as Darryl Turbin Jr.<\/p>\n

After the man was shot, Floyd took the gun from his brother and fled the scene prior to police’s arrival, court records show.<\/p>\n

Floyd was charged with evidence tampering and was taken to Louisville Metro Corrections.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A lesson for the kids out there, from Opelousas, Louisiana<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Jamie Ballard, 34, was booked with illegal use of weapons, a spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

The incident began early Wednesday, the spokeswoman said. Ballard allegedly found a man in his yard, stealing things, the spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

The man ran away, but Ballard allegedly got into his vehicle and drove around trying to find the man, she said. When he found the man he thinks was stealing from him, he fired a warning shot, the spokeswoman said.<\/p>\n

Ballard wasn’t on his property when he did that, she said, and so he was arrested. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another life lesson from Atwater, California<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Atwater police were called just before 10 p.m. to a home in the 1900 block of Atwater Boulevard. The resident, Abraham Flores, initially told investigators he’d interrupted someone burglarizing his car and chased the man off. However, officers later learned Flores had opened fire on the burglary suspect, striking the man at least once, Detective Anthony Cardoza said.<\/p>\n

“Unless your life is in danger, you’re not justified shooting someone, especially not justified over a property crime,” Cardoza said in a telephone interview. “Unfortunately it looks like the property owner just tried to take things into his own hands. Both men are victims and suspects in this case.”<\/p>\n

The burglary suspect, a 22-year-old man whose name was not released, ran to a relative’s home nearby to get help. He was shot at least once in the leg and taken to a Modesto-area hospital for treatment. Police said they do not believe the injury was life-threatening.<\/p>\n

According to police, Flores initially claimed he’d chased the burglary suspect away. The suspected burglar fled, leaving a hat and his shoes behind. Flores did not tell police he’d opened fire, officers said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
